Kara Carter, PMHNP-BC

Kara Carter, PMHNP-BC

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
2219 Sawdust Rd, Ste 1903, The Woodlands, TX
Hi, my name is Kara! I am an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of the University of South Alabama, where I earned my PMHNP degree in 2013. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2006. I have extensive experience working with adults, children, and adolescents, treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions. I’m passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence-based, and compassionate mental health care. In addition to medication management, I enjoy supporting patients through non-pharmacologic interventions, safe and intentional deprescribing, and preventive behavioral health strategies, particularly for children and adolescents—if that’s more your vibe! I recently relocated to the Houston area from Alabama with my husband and teenage son and am looking forward to this exciting new chapter, both professionally and personally. Not a part of the bio but I treat: depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, trauma, behavioral disorders, and personality disorders.
